Marianne Miller will be Artist-in-Residence at the Glen Arbor Art Association from Aug. 1 19 to Sept. 1. She hales from Columbus, Ohio, but is no stranger to Glen Arbor where she has vacationed for many years. Her particular interest is Plein Air painting where she can depict nature directly as she sees it. During her residency she intends to “find and paint nature views that may otherwise be overlooked.” Her work includes farm scenes, cherry trees, flowers, a charming view of two Amish women on bicycles among many other subjects. She uses warm, almost hazy, oil colors. Her style is alluring and pleasing, inviting the viewer into the atmosphere of the work.
